Preparing for flammability testing? Material type, thickness, application and the required standard can all affect the test method and sample requirements. Our new guide explains what to consider before sending plastics or polymers for testing. impact-solutions.co.uk/flamm…

Biodegradable ingredients don’t automatically make a readily biodegradable formulation. Our latest blog explains why finished-product evidence matters and how OECD 301F testing can help assess formulation biodegradability. Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/why-b…

A biodegradable substrate does not always tell the full story. Adhesives, coatings and inks can all affect how the finished product behaves at end of life. Our latest blog explores why representative testing matters and how Impact-Bio® can help: impact-solutions.co.uk/why-a…

Recycled plastic can contain more than the base polymer. Legacy additives, mixed plastics, metals and other contaminants can all affect material quality and suitability. Our latest blog looks at what manufacturers should be watching for: impact-solutions.co.uk/conta…

Two plastics can share the same polymer name but perform very differently. Grades, additives, molecular weight, fillers and processing history can all affect the final material. Our latest blog explains why, and how testing can reveal the difference: impact-solutions.co.uk/why-t…

Can plastic really biodegrade in the sea? Our latest blog explores the science behind marine biodegradation testing, why evidence matters, and how recognised standards help support credible environmental claims. Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/can-p…

What affects the biodegradability of household cleaning products? Surfactants, preservatives and fragrances can all influence how well a formulation breaks down. Our latest blog explores the ingredients that matter most. impact-solutions.co.uk/biode…

Home vs industrial composting: what is the difference? Our latest blog explores how compostability is tested across both, including standards, methods and conditions. Same criteria, different approaches. 👉 impact-solutions.co.uk/home-… #Composting #Sustainability #Packaging

Impact Solutions has launched our new HPLC testing capability 🔬 Delivering faster, more accurate analysis for complex materials, supporting product development and compliance. Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/impac… #HPLC #AnalyticalTesting #UKIndustry

Microplastics often form when plastics fragment rather than biodegrade. Breaking apart is not the same as biological breakdown. Learn how fragmentation contributes to microplastic pollution in our latest blog. Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/micro…

Choosing the wrong biodegradation test can weaken your sustainability claim. Compost, soil, and marine standards are not interchangeable. Learn how to choose the right biodegradation standard for your product. Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/choos…

PLA bioplastic is helping manufacturers move away from fossil fuel-based plastics 🌱 Our latest blog explores how PLA works, where it’s used, and what to consider for responsible compostability. 👉 Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/pla-b…

Sustainability claims in labelling need to be backed by evidence. Our latest blog explores why biodegradable label testing is central to credible sustainability, reduced risk and FINAT-aligned labelling decisions. 🔗 Read more: impact-solutions.co.uk/biode…

Early insight supports better material decisions. Impact-Bio™ offers a rapid screening service, providing early understanding of biodegradation behaviour. This helps teams identify risks and guide development before full testing. #ImpactBio #RapidScreening #Biodegradability

Biodegradable packaging claims don’t always reflect real-world performance. Our latest blog explains why biodegradable packaging testing matters and how to verify material behaviour. 👉 Read the full blog: impact-solutions.co.uk/is-yo…

MYTH: All bioplastics are green 🌱 REALITY: Some don’t biodegrade at all. Without testing, sustainability claims can be misleading. Impact-Bio™ is our comprehensive biodegradability testing service, helping clarify real material behaviour. #ImpactBio #Bioplastics #MythBuster

Bioplastics aren’t automatically biodegradable. Some require specific conditions to break down, while others behave like conventional plastics. Impact-Bio™ is our comprehensive biodegradability testing service, providing clarity on real material behaviour.

Biodegradable. Compostable. Recyclable. They’re not the same, mixing them up can lead to confusion or even greenwashing. We’ve broken down the key differences in our latest blog. 👉 Read here: impact-solutions.co.uk/biode… #Biodegradable #Compostable #Recyclable
